Separate But Unequal

Problem: How can the hipster, white, progressive citizens of a town with this reputation properly virtue signal?

Solution: Invite all those poor black (as well as brown and red skinned) folks to a non-white party and slip them a few bucks to help them with the bar tab and to salve our conscience!

Ever wonder what it pays to have a job that does nothing but compare incomes of whites and blacks? The numbers are purposefully skewed from the start and I have seen in person how it works. In the 90s, then Commandant of the Marine Corps did a 60 Minutes interview where he stated blacks, by percentage were not as good of swimmers as whites. (the wailing and gnashing of teeth began probably before the show was over).

Here's hot works. Whites outnumber blacks total population-wise by a LARGE margin. W're talking Marine Corps OFFICERS which widens the gap even further. So, hypothetically, you have 110 students in swim qual. 10 are black, 100 are white. If 10 whites can't swim, that's 10%. It 10 blacks can't swim that's 100%. I black can't, that's 10%. 1 white can't, 1%.

So the numbers could be correct, but the way they are presented is fraudulent. They're presented as saying there are an equal number of blacks and white in identical situations. Populations stats blow their sh*t out of the water.
